Myanmar's 20 most handsome men alive 2020

Myanmar’s 20 most handsome men alive 2020

Paing Takhon

Since June 23, 1997,  the Republic of the Union of Myanmar has been a member of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). The country’s official language is Burmese while the recognized regional languages are Kachin, Kayah, Karen, Chin, Mon, Rakhine and Shan.

On May 31, 1989, General Saw Maung formed the State Law and Order Restoration Council (SLORC), which changed the…

The military regime-appointed election body said on Friday that it would dissolve the National League for Democracy (NLD) for allegedly committing voter fraud, and take action against those who it says “rigged” the November vote, calling them “traitors”.

The military justified its February coup by alleging massive voter fraud in November’s general election, which brought a landslide victory to the NLD. However, the Asian Network for Free Elections said the outcome of the vote was “by and large, representative of the will of the people of Myanmar.”

At a meeting with political parties on Friday—its second since the coup—the junta-appointed Union Election Commission (UEC) claimed it had found evidence that the NLD intentionally violated the law to ensure its landslide victory in November’s poll.

“What should we do with the NLD, which plotted against the law [to win the election]? The party must be abolished. And we must consider taking action against those who rigged the vote as traitors to the country,” said UEC chairman U Thein Soe, a former major general in the Myanmar military.

Military spokesman Major General Zaw Min Tun said at a press conference on May 15 that action must be taken against the NLD under the Political Parties Registration Law and the military-drafted 2008 Constitution, because the party supports the National Unity Government (NUG) and the Committee Representing Pyidaungsu Hluttaw (CRPH), both of which the regime has declared to be terrorist and unlawful associations.

The CRPH represents lawmakers, mostly from NLD, who were elected in November. The NUG was formed by the CRPH as a shadow government to rival the military regime.

Under the Political Parties Registration Law and the 2008 Constitution, any party with links to terrorists or unlawful associations shall be abolished.

The UEC has been reviewing voter lists, and only 21 townships are left to be reviewed out of 315 where voting was held in November, said UEC member U Khin Maung Oo.

At the regime’s press conference on May 7, another military spokesman, Major Kaung Htet San, said the regime would decide what action to take regarding the NLD based on the results of the voter list review.

The regime arrested NLD leader Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and other senior leaders of the party after the coup. It has continued to arrest and issue warrants for party members and elected NLD lawmakers across the country. A number of NLD members have died while being tortured in military custody.

Myanmar Entry for ArtAsiaPacific Almanac 2020

[featured in ArtAsiaPacific]

By Min Pyae Sone  - January, 2020

As Myanmar gears up for its general elections, slated for 2020, the nation faces numerous, bubbling conflicts. In 2019, the Tatmadaw army escalated its offensive against Rohingya and Arakan insurgents in Rakhine state. Myanmar also stood trial at the United Nations International Court of Justice in December for charges of genocide against the Rohingya people.

Despite political instabilities, the artistic expressions of Myanmar’s artists and curators are increasingly dynamic. The local arts infrastructure is supported by commercial galleries working with artists, with very little input from Myanmar’s Ministry of Religious Affairs and Culture. Organizations such as the Japan Foundation, Goethe-Institut, and the American Center offer funding for select exhibitions that suit their remits. However, shows are still commonly financed by artists themselves.

Among government-run platforms in Yangon, the National Museum of Myanmar’s sparse programming included the “Contemporary-17 Art Exhibition” (1/12–18) of all male artists.

With few private patrons to count on, arts practitioners continued to collaborate with foreign organizations in 2019. Curators Sai Htin Linn Htet and Ushmita Sahu worked with the United States nonprofit Emergent Art Space to present “Building Bridges Yangon: New Media Art Exhibition” (7/19–30) as part of the local initiative My Yangon My Home – Yangon Art and Heritage Festival. Spotlighting works by over 20 emerging artists from Myanmar and abroad, the show inaugurated the restored Old Tourist Burma Building. Later, exiled Shan artist Sawangwongse Yawnghwe declined to take part in the European Union-funded exhibition “Everyday Justice” (11/16–29) at the Old Tourist Burma Building, due to concerns over the EU’s stance toward Myanmar’s current affairs.

Pyinsa Rasa, a collective dedicated to arts development in Yangon, presented a project at another revamped colonial landmark, The Secretariat. The group exhibition “Sa Gar Ahla Ku Htone” (11/2–17) tackled internet culture with photography by Hkun Lat and works by performance artist Thadi Htar, among others. New Zero Art Space continued to support emerging artists through exhibitions.

A part of the Pyinsa Rasa group, Myanm/art gallery opened a new space in downtown Yangon, on 48th Street, and launched “God Complex” (5/18–6/12), spotlighting street-art-inspired canvases by Kyaw Moe Khine, also known as Bart Was Not Here. Kaung Su’s “Ashes of Time” (9/7–27) touched on historical genocides. Other commercial ventures in Yangon include the River Gallery, where Htein Lin’s solo show “Skirting the Issue” (5/11–19) included controversial displays—canvases made from women’s skirts, which traditionally are handled by women only. Lokanat Galleries held a memorial exhibition for the late experimentalist Phyoe Kyi, curated by artist-couple Tun Win Aung and Wah Nu (7/12–15). A new addition to the gallery scene was Kalasa Art Space, which kicked off its first year with big names, such as septuagenarian painter Aung Myint, who had the solo exhibition “17 A.M” (10/5–16). Nawaday Tharlar Gallery presented Kaung Kyaw Khine’s renderings of blank-faced civilians (7/13–19), evoking the frustration of locals who have been anticipating political changes.    

In the contemporary photography realm, library, workspace, and gallery Myanmar Deitta had two noteworthy exhibitions: “Bridging the Naf” (6/25–8/18), by the all-female Thuma Collective and the Bangladeshi Kaali Collective, and “Disclosure” (9/28–10/20), featuring Thuma Collective. Both shows were preoccupied with issues of identity.

In June, Dawei Art Space opened its doors in the southeastern city of Dawei, surviving a harsh monsoon that hit the area. An ode to the region’s coastline, “Sea Lovers” (10/12–14) was organized by native Tavoyan artists.

Myanmar artists participated in several international exhibitions. Min Thein Sung’s dust-covered canvases were showcased at the 2019 Singapore Biennale (11/22–3/22/20). Installations by Moe Satt and Nge Lay tackling various aspects of Myanmar’s history were at Biennale Jogja XV (10/20–11/30). Moe Satt also performed at Asia Contemporary Art Week Field Meeting (1/25–26) in Dubai, and presented projects at the survey “Polyphony: Southeast Asia” (11/9–12/20) at Nanjing University of the Arts, alongside ceramist Soe Yu Nwe, who was in residence at North Seattle College.

Looking ahead to 2020, Myanm/art will present exhibitions featuring Richie Htet and Soe Yu Nwe.

BHL U23 Việt Nam đã xin ý kiến chỉ đạo của HLV Park Hang Seo

Phát biểu sau trận thắng 2-0 trước U23 Myanmar, trợ lý Nguyễn Văn Đàn tiết lộ U23 VIệt Nam đã tuân thủ chiến thuật và đấu pháp của HLV Park Hang Seo.

Video: U23 Việt Nam 2-0 U23 Myanmar

Thay mặt HLV HLV Kim Han-yoon, trợ lý Nguyễn Văn Đàn cho biết: "Mọi quyết định về chiến thuật cũng như đấu pháp của BHL U23 Việt Nam đều phải thông qua HLV trưởng Park Hang Seo. (HLV người Hàn Quốc đang bận dẫn dắt ĐTQG chuẩn bị cho trận chung kết King's Cup với ĐT Curacao vào ngày 8/6 - PV).

Chiến thắng này có được một phần nhờ sự cổ vũ của những khán đài kín CĐV, bất chấp thời tiết mưa lớn giúp các cầu thủ thi đấu hưng phấn và quyết tâm hơn."

"Chiến thắng của ĐTQG trước Thái Lan tại King's Cup cũng là động lực to lớn để các em U23 Việt Nam càng thi đấu với tinh thần nhất." - Trợ lý Văn Đàn cho biết thêm.

Về tấm thẻ đỏ của Trọng Huy ở cuối trận, trợ lý Nguyễn Văn Đàn bày tỏ: "Tôi lấy làm tiếc về chiến thẻ đỏ không đáng có của Trọng Huy, sau đây các cầu thủ sẽ phải rút kinh nghiệm để không mắc phải những lỗi như vậy."

Đánh giá về danh sách chuẩn bị cho SEA Games 30, ông Đàn cho hay: "Từ giờ đến cuối năm còn quãng thời gian khá dài, do đó tất cả các cầu thủ vẫn phải nỗ lực nhiều hơn nữa để duy trì phong độ trong suốt mùa giải mới có kết quả xứng đáng."

Trong khi đó, HLV Velizar Popov của U23 Myanmar đã dành cho U23 Việt Nam những lời khen: "Tôi đánh giá cao toàn đội U23 Việt Nam, đặc biệt là trong hiệp 1, với lối chơi pressing khiến cầu thủ cùa tôi không thể triển khai bóng."

"Trong 30 phút đầu, tôi đã nghĩ rằng giữa U23 Việt Nam và U23 Myanmar có một khoảng cách rất xa về trình độ. Nhưng sang hiệp 2, đội của tôi đã chơi tốt, có thời điểm chơi hay hơn U23 Việt Nam ngay trên sân của Việt Nam. Chỉ tiếc là khi đang hưng phấn, chúng tôi lại nhận thêm bàn thua. Trong bóng đá, một sai lầm có thể thay đổi tất cả”, HLV Velizar Popov cho hay.

Chiến lược gia người Bulgaria không thay đổi quan điểm về việc U23 Việt Nam là ứng viên số 1 cho tấm HCV SEA Games 30 vào cuối năng nay. Tuy nhiên, ông cũng cho rằng, sau trận đấu này, U23 Myanmar có thể tiến xa ở SEA Games và nếu tự tin hơn, U23 Myanmar thậm chí có thể cạnh tranh huy chương.

“Nếu gặp lại nhau ở SEA Games, các bạn sẽ thấy U23 Myanmar sẽ rất khác. Hôm nay, chúng tôi đã chơi rụt rè quá mức cần thiết”, ông Popov chốt lại.

Ghi bàn: Việt Hưng (15'), Tiến Linh (75')

Thẻ đỏ: Naing Win (76', 2 thẻ vàng) - Trọng Huy (90'+5)

Đội hình thi đấu

U23 Việt Nam:Tiến Dũng, Viết Triều (Ngọc Bảo 72'), Đức Chiến (Martin Lo 89'), Tấn Tài (Xuân Quyết 89'), Thanh Thịnh (Trọng Huy 89'), Việt Hưng (Danh Trung 78'), Thái Quý (Trọng Đại 57'), A Mít (Tiến Dụng 57'), Hoàng Đức (Đức Nam 63'), Tiến Linh (Thanh Sơn 78'), Trọng Hùng (Bảo Toàn 57').
